Travel Mishaps
“I Am Cleansed But at What Cost?”
During a romantic getaway to Paris, American tourist Scott Malloy encountered a bidet for the first time. Mistaking it for a decorative sink or a tiny foot spa, he leaned in too close and triggered a high-pressure geyser that launched him backward into a towel rack and directly into local legend status.
“I thought it was a water fountain for your lower back,” Scott said. “But now I’ve been reborn and slightly concussed.”
The hotel manager offered him a dry robe and a glass of rosé. The Vatican has yet to comment on the legitimacy of the baptism, but Scott’s wife now refers to him as “Saint Splash.”
Auf Wiedersehen, amigos.
